[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would absolutely let kid wear crop top at the beac, on a weekend outing in the summer, or on vacation in a hot climate. We spend every summer visiting relatives abroad and cropped tops are a daily thing. Not sure how practical they are in the mid Atlantic. I do think it’s important to set the expectation that they are dressing for themselves - and not for the male gaze negatively or positively. That is, [b]they are not responsible for immoral behavior.thoughts of dudes and they are not dressing to attract positive attention from dudes[/b]. Kids wear uniforms during the week, so they generally are in charge of picking their weekend outfits.[/quote]

Yeah! But the predatory male prurient gaze exists and that is a fact.

Having some oblivious victims in society as easy victims for such males may help keep other children safe.[/quote]

Well, that’s where the parenting actually should come in, not in policing girls and their bodies. [b]For example, no sleepovers where men or boys are present. No male babysitters, even family members[/b]. No brothers more than a couple years older left alone with them. No cell phones or social media. No male doctors or coaches, unless you understand whether they are left alone with girls. Molesters are far more likely to be your older son, your nephew, your brother, or swim coach than a rando judging a young child an easy mark because they are wearing a two-piece. [/quote]

This is straight up insane. You wouldn't let a a kid sleep over at a friend's if she has a brother or Dad in the house?[/quote]
